Stephen
Pierce, the global head of equity capital markets at Goldman

retiring after 31 years at the bank, according to Alex
Barinka at Bloomberg.

Pierce will stay on as an advisory director, and Goldman
Sachs isn't planning to replace him, according to the report.

Pierce has ambitious plans for his retirement: he hopes to
become a black belt in kung fu, get certified in emergency
medical services, and ski terrain only accessible by helicopter,
according to the Bloomberg report.
